I Will Turn Lagos Waters To Money, says Jimi Agbaje

Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State for the 2019 governorship election, Mr Jimi Agbaje, has promised to look at other ways to boost the economy of the metropolis.

Speaking recently at the launch of his campaign, Mr Agbaje said he will look critically into his blue economy policy to make more money for the state.
According to him, this he would do by making money out of what Lagos is massively blessed and surrounded with - lagoon - to create several job opportunities for residents.

“I have not jettisoned my blue economy agenda for Lagos. When I am elected as Governor of Lagos State by His grace, I will make efforts to commercialise our waters.

“There are several ways Lagos can make money from the abundance of water it is surrounded with. I will open the water transport system, which will boom the lifejacket manufacturing sector, boat-making sector, fishery and many others businesses that have connection with water.

“You can see that the blue economy has not been tapped into in Lagos State, but I promise to make this industry the next oil industry,” Mr Agbaje said while answering one of the questions asked by a journalist at the event.

“I am running a believable administration and I am in the race for service not for self. They are in politics for themselves.

“They have said that I am their ‘customer’. But I want to tell them that the customer is the king and he is always right.

“By March 2019, the rest will be history because this election will be decided by the people of Lagos who yearn for freedom, and not by political parties."
